About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2020

Last update: December 2025

Fai’s journey began as a hairdresser completing her nvq nearly 20 years ago followed by graduating with a diploma at the prestigious Delamar Academy of Makeup, one of the top makeup schools. With a diverse portfolio that spans across the fashion and television industry, Fai has worked on high-profile shows such as Love Island and The X Factor. These fast-paced, high-demand environments have shaped her ability to stay composed and work efficiently under pressure. Whether it's a last-minute change or an unexpected challenge, Fai remains a calming presence, always focused on delivering results without compromising the experience.

Her extensive background in both beauty and high-stress settings has made Fai a sought-after expert for brides looking for someone who not only understands the importance of beauty but also recognizes the emotional and mental well-being that’s crucial on such a significant day. Her makeup caters for all ethnicities, ages and can work with curly hair. Fai works by understanding each persons personality and reflects the look through that rather than generate the same look or 'trend' on everyone. She is very friendly, professional and prides herself with her time keeping.

For 4 years in a row Fai has won best hair and makeup artist in the South East via hitched where her reviews speak for themselves. Eye brow and lash services are also available before the big day.

Services Offered

Fai begins each service with a consultation via email. That way, she can get to know you personally and understand your vision for your big day and can also conduct phone calls where we can get to know eachother and make sure we are a good fit.

Hairdressing services such as hair cutting, highlights, microblading and HD Brows are also available to book as packages in ocnjunction with your wedding hair and makeup. I can guide you into getting your dream brows ahead of your wedding day and let you know what cut and colour works best with your hair style.

Whether you desire a natural or glamorous beauty look for your celebration of love, Fai Archer Hair and Makeup strive to bring your dreams to life.

I looked great

Fai did hair and make up for myself and makeup for my mum. I was so pleased with the result, it stayed all day, I looked great in all the photos and Fai made us feel really at ease and comfortable to ask for what we wanted.

Fai the Makeup and Hair Wizard

Fai did the makeup and hair for myself (bride), two bridesmaids and my mother and she did an exceptional job. She is able to do extraordinary work in a reasonable amount of time. She has great recommendations which are essential during the trial phase. Her prices are very reasonable but her personality it what made the day so special. You can totally be yourself around her which just made me so relaxed for the final day.

The first thing my husband said to me when I got to the bottom of the aisle was "wow you look stunning". I mean is there anything more you could want!??

The best makeup artist there is

Honestly where to start with how amazing fai was, obviously her work talks for itself she’s an amazing makeup artist using all the best brands of makeup, knew exactly what I wanted for my wedding makeup and executed it flawlessly. I have never felt as beautiful as I did when fai did my makeup. It lasted all night, through all my laughter and tears it did not budge!
I had another makeup artist cancel on me a month before the big day, and I was so panicked but I messaged fai she got back to me to quickly and was happy to squeeze me in to help.
Not only did she do an amazing job with the makeup she was genuinely so good to have around on my wedding morning, her personality is brilliant she’s so funny and lovely and I genuinely forgot she wasn’t part of my wedding party. She also saved the day of the whole wedding she dropped my maid of honour to the venue when we were running late and then drove her back to where we were getting ready when the bouquets were forgotten and back again!!! Literally saved the day without question. You were such a delight fai thank you so much for being apart of my special day you really were amazing! Couldn’t have asked for better.

Fai-ry Magic!

Fai is an amazing professional and person. She made me and my bridal party feel so comfortable from the moment she arrived, and brought the looks together exactly as I had envisioned them. Nothing felt like it was beyond her capability - she knows exactly what you need to know and will help guide things like timings for photos, accessories... things you wouldn't think to ask about unless you're a wedding regular! I can't recommend her enough. Thank you for everything ❤️

100% recommend

Fai was brilliant on my trial and on my wedding day. She was lovely and made me feel at ease and was very professional.

She had no issues with me changing anything on the day and she's lovely so you really can tell her if you don't like something or prefer it another way.

The only issue was me being so indecisive but she was absolutely great!

Faye was amazing!

I booked Faye for my wedding and she has been brilliant from start to finish. I have not just had the trial and the wedding hair and makeup but also a cut and colour with Faye and I would highly recommend. She kept the wedding morning so calm and was right on time all the way through and very reassuring. She did all my bridesmaids hair too as well as my hair and makeup and I loved it all!

Absolutely Amazing!

I cannot recommend Fai enough! She did my wedding makeup, and from start to finish, the experience was incredible. She was super laid-back, easy to talk to, and made the whole process so enjoyable. Her calm and friendly nature instantly put me at ease on such an important day.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also so flexible and accommodating—nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She listened carefully to what I wanted, gave great suggestions, and made sure I felt my absolute best. My makeup was flawless and looked stunning both in person and in photos.

It was a pleasure, highly recommended!

I highly recommend Fai, working with her was a pleasure! 😊 The makeup and hair stayed perfectly for a long time (I left the makeup for an extra day after the wedding 😅). I loved how I looked and felt very comfortable. Fai listened to all my suggestions after the trial makeup and applied all of them for the big day! She's also a kind and sociable person which made the whole experience even better. Thank you so much, Fai! And all the best for your future projects 🫶🏻

Perfect look for my wedding day!

Fai was so great to work with! From the trial to the wedding day, she was quick to reply to my messages and accommodated my last minute changes. She did my wedding party's hair and makeup as well and everyone was very happy with their looks! Really appreciated how securely the veil was attached to my loose hair, she made sure it was nice and snug. I'll definitely be recommending her services to my family and friends looking for a hair & makeup artist for their next event! Thanks again Fai! :)

An unbelievably amazing service

An unbelievably amazing service from Fai. From the trial, to getting my brows done pre wedding, to on the day everything - was just perfect.
My mum and I both had a trial, we were both nervous as we don't wear much make up usually and didn't really know what we wanted. Fai was chilled, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel totally at ease. We loved the hair and make up and felt really excited for the big day. A few days before, Fai waxed my brows and they were really natural and helped the overall look. On the day, Fai did the hair and make up for myself, mum and 2 adult bridesmaids. She was a calming influence, didn't feel rushed, and made us all feel really special. Everyone loved their looks, and both hair and make up lasted all day and looked great in the photos.
I will be using Fai now for my regular hair/beauty appointments, as I've found an absolute gem!!

Excellent make up!!

I am so so pleased with how my wedding make up looked. The trial was very helpful to help me work out what it is that I wanted! Fai was SUCH a great presence to have around in the morning getting myself and the girls ready. The morning was such a relaxed but fun vibe and we all absolutely loved it!!! Thank you so so much! 💕 Memories I'll treasure for ever.

Wedding make up

Fai is such a lovely, friendly person and really made me feel at ease on the morning of my wedding. She did the most amazing makeup for me! I have honestly never felt more beautiful in my life. I got so many compliments from friends and family. I am normally quite self conscious of photos but I love all my wedding photos! She also covered all my blemishes. Thank you so much Fai! X
